What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this vinyl flooring cutter. Many report it fails to cut through standard luxury vinyl planks thicker than 4-5mm, only scoring the material and requiring manual snapping. Several describe the plastic base or handle cracking after just one to three cuts, calling it cheaply made. A smaller group finds it works well for thin peel-and-stick vinyl tile under 4mm, praising clean cuts. Overall, reviewers are split between strong dissatisfaction with performance and durability versus limited satisfaction for specific thin-material applications.

Good for vinyl self-stick planks

Would Recommend

The cutter was a good value and made the job easier. Cuts longer than 12inches need to be done by hand.

Flimsy and poor quality.

Would Not Recommend

If you are going to cut more than ten pieces of flooring during your install, this is not the product for you. First three or four, not too bad, after that it got harder and harder until it just stopped working. I managed to get half of my living room done before I was forced to buy a better cutter.

Very cheaply built.

Would Not Recommend

I bought it to cut vinyl laminate flooring. It would barely put a dent in it. This thing may cut very thin items, but otherwise it is useless. I would not recommend this item at all.

Worthless for cutting vinyl!

Would Not Recommend

I ordered this mainly because of the price. I needed it to cut vinyl plank flooring that Iam going to install in my kitchen. This thing hardly put a dent in it! It might work to cut paper with. but that's about it! Steer clear of this item.

I thought it would make cutting the vinyl easier. It stopped working after the 2nd plank.

Doesn't cut straight

Would Not Recommend

I'm trying to cut cheap peel and stick and it cuts like butter, but for the life of me I can't get a straight cut! I figured I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. as of now this thing is a piece of junk. spend more money and buy something better.

Don't buy! Listen to the reviews

Would Not Recommend

I figured I would give it a try even after reading all bad reviews.Like a dummy, I decided to try it because of the 1 good review lol let me just start off by saying what I used it for so just incase it's what I am using.I was trying to cut vinyl for back splash and everytime I went to cut it,it would just bend it and mess up the vinyl.
